AAR-001: Down the Coil

Rumor:The Coil River is a trading lifeline that was once considered unnavigable in the northern stretches. Since the great Kaer of Throal has opened, however, the river has been seen to be practically placid. A merchant consortium within Throal has asked for brave adepts to walk the length of the Coil to the Adipae confluence - or even as far as Lake Ban - making note of any unusual features along the river's western edge, and mapping the route. Their reward is in raw silver, and they are keen to find a site positive for settlement in the area.

Huh. I don't know how I managed to peel the time off the mission when I changed the day! Yes, it was as originally intended for your 2pm GMT slot (10pm my time), Emeketos. Do you want to switch characters to your T'skrang? We might want to do something else if so... it took me way too long to put this one together to rejigger it for C1!
